Moisture Modes and the Eastward Propagation of the MJO
The authors discuss modifications to a simple linearmodel of intraseasonal moisturemodes.Wind–evaporation feedbacks were shown in an earlier study to induce westward propagation in an eastward mean low-level flow in this model. Here additional processes, which provide effective sources of moist static energy to the disturbances and which also depend on the low-level wind, are considered. Severa...
متن کاملEnhanced MJO-like Variability at High SST
The authors report a significant increase in Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO)–like variability in a superparameterized version of the NCARCommunity AtmosphereModel run with high sea surface temperatures (SSTs). A series of aquaplanet simulations exhibit a tripling of intraseasonal outgoing longwave radiation variance as equatorial SST is increased from 268 to 358C. The simulated intraseasonal va...
متن کاملA soil moisture–rainfall feedback mechanism 1. Theory and observations
This paper presents a hypothesis regarding the fundamental role of soil moisture conditions in land-atmosphere interactions. We propose that wet soil moisture conditions over any large region should be associated with relatively large boundary layer moist static energy, which favors the occurrence of more rainfall. Since soil moisture conditions themselves reflect past occurrence of rainfall, t...
متن کاملA soil moisture–rainfall feedback mechanism 2. Numerical experiments
Here we develop a numerical model to investigate the hypothesis proposed by a companion paper [Eltahir, this issue], which describes a soil moisture–rainfall feedback mechanism. The model is designed to describe the seasonal evolution of the West African monsoon rainfall and is used to perform numerical experiments that elucidate the mechanisms of the response of rainfall to soil moisture anoma...
متن کاملThe MJO - SSW teleconnection : interaction between MJO - forced 1 waves and the mid - latitude jet
13 The Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO) was shown to a ect both present-day Sudden Strato14 spheric Warming (SSW) events in the Arctic, and their future frequency under global 15 warming scenarios, with implications to the Arctic Oscillation and mid-latitude extreme 16 weather. This work uses a dry dynamic core model to understand the dependence of SSW 17 frequency on the amplitude and longitudi...
